Zhang Miao's intention was not to conceal Lu Bu's meaning, but Zhang Miao also knew that because of his friendship with Lu Bu, since he came down from Chen Liutai's position, although the official position was raised several times by Cao Cao's performance, and it was also ranked in the center if it sounded good, but the real power was rising and descending secretly, and there was nothing at all, and now there can still be an errand for the envoy, which is already an arrangement made by Cao Cao to take care of the old days. Thinking about it on the other hand, the relationship with Cao Cao has been cold to this extent, what important tasks can he be entrusted with? Therefore, Zhang Miao had no worries, and swaggered with Lu Bu to have a banquet at Qin Xu's mansion.

But that's telling. Even if Zhang Miao was just a businessman who read Cao Cao's "friendliness and goodwill" in front of others, and then was brought by Lu Bu to show Lu Chen in his arms, but after a conversation with Jia Xu before, he had already touched Cao Cao's true intentions, and saw that Zhang Miao, who was now sent by Cao Cao to be friendly with Lu Bu, and who was not reused now because of Lu Bu, confirmed Jia Xu's speculation about Cao Cao on the same side. There are very certain demons, and Cao Cao's mind is very deep.

"What's wrong with you, boy? If you have something, you can say that Meng Zhuoyu is a lifelong friend, and you don't have to hide everything from him in Qingzhou! Lu Bu's wine had already been drunk, and after seeing Qin Xu and Zhang Miao salute, he looked like he wanted to say something, and Lu Bu frowned, glanced at Zhang Miao, who had a calm face, and asked Qin Xu abruptly.

"No! Lord, according to the news obtained by the shadow, Liu Bei has moved! Qin Xu originally looked like he was in a trance, and suddenly heard Lu Bu ask. As if surprised, Chong Zhang Miao smiled slightly awkwardly and replied.

"Huh? Liu Bei? Liu Da'er? What's wrong with this guy? Didn't he deceive tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Gongsun Zhan again. Encroaching on the plains? The end is not the right son of man! Come on, take a certain Fang Tian painting halberd! "What Lu Bu can't hear the most now is Liu Bei's name, the poisonous arrow that almost made the flying general return to the sky, but it came from Liu Bei's hand, that is, Boss Lu has a strong body, and his luck is against the sky to meet Hua Tuo. Otherwise, it is really difficult to say what the consequences will be, and whether the hard-laid foundation will fall apart.

"Lord, lord is angry!" For fear that his baby grandson, Lu Chen would not be used to smelling the smell of wine on his body. Boss Lu has been banned from drinking by three wives and concubines since Lu Lingqi was in the middle of her pregnancy, that is, today, when an old friend came, Mrs. Yan opened her vows with one eye and one eye closed. It's a bit of an overdose right now. Qin Xu's original intention was just to ask for an excuse to send troops to Hebei. If Lu Bu was too focused on Liu Bei's body, then the previous plan would have to be greatly discounted, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, the Shadow has obtained information before, and Gongsun Zan only left Liu Bei more than 10,000 Youzhou soldiers who were brainwashed by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was the Taishou of Nanpi, and ordered Liu Bei to garrison Nanpi and Bohai to prevent our army." And Gongsun Chan himself. But because of the rebellion of Gongsun Kang of Liaodong, he returned to Beiping early. ”

"Hmm. In this way, Liu Bei must be afraid! That's why he mobilized a large army in case he was defeated by someone, hmph, he was very cautious! Lu Bu snorted coldly and said, and didn't mention taking weapons to do him Liu Bei's words.

"My lord! I'm afraid it's not that simple! Looking at Lu Bu's appearance, it seemed that he had just shrunk the enemy of Hebei to Liu Bei, but he was not very interested in Jizhou, Bingzhou and even Youzhou, Qin Xu was secretly thinking about how to at least arouse Lu Bu's interest in other states and counties in Hebei in front of Zhang Miao, and suddenly Hao Zhao, who was on duty this time, walked in from outside the hall and handed Qin Xu a bamboo slip with a strange face. Qin Xu just took the opportunity to save time for thinking, so he took it casually, Qin Xu was not familiar with the small characters on it, and he didn't pay for it, but the content on it made Qin Xu surprised and sighed that if people were lucky, someone would immediately send a pillow if they were sleepy.

The above content is very concise, but it is saying that Liu Bei has recently made an unannounced visit to Yecheng, and has had contact with the high-ranking members of Yuan Shang's forces, even the extremely beautiful Mrs. Liu. Although the specific content of Liu Bei's intention has not been discovered, it can be inferred from the scene of the two guests and hosts enjoying themselves that it is at least possible to ease the hostility because of the two hostile forces that each is the master.

The relationship between the Yuan family and the Gongsun family eased, because of Yuan Shao's death, the Yuan family split, it seems somewhat unlikely. But as for Liu Bei himself, others may be confused by the appearance of the big-eared Liu Renyi, and they don't know the ambition of this eldest brother, but Qin Xu is a clear man, and he has been afraid of Liu Bei since he was not yet established. It was only because the "pig's foot halo" that Liu Bei was carrying was too rebellious that Qin Xu had several great opportunities, but they did not cause substantial results to Liu Bei. Now, if this news is true, Liu Bei's intentions Qin Xu can think of with his ass. In today's Yecheng of Jizhou, there is a pair of orphans and widows who were spoiled by Yuan Shao in the past, a upright and capable minister who is upright and inflexible, two loyal and strong generals who are always on guard, plus a group of officials who are good at governing the government, but who have insight into the time and are treacherous but ignorant. It is no exaggeration to say that if it is only about manipulating people's hearts, even if these people are all combined, they may not be Liu Bei's opponents. At least if the roles of the two sides are reversed, the people on Yuan Shang's side will definitely not have the courage to enter the enemy camp alone.

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Bu naturally also saw Hao Zhao's action of sending bamboo slips to Qin Xu, and when he saw Qin Xu say this, he also wondered, and asked with a smile: "Could it be that Liu Bei didn't dare to face Yu directly, but he dared to fight Hebei's idea?" ”

"The lord has seen thousands of miles, and what he said is in one word!" Qin Xu looked very serious, turned a blind eye to Lu Bu's astonishment, and said, "I just received the news, so Liu Bei is afraid that he has such an idea." Just a few days ago, Liu Bei only took fifty cavalry and closed Zhang Zhaoyun and the three of them, starting from Nanpi, and the destination was Yecheng! ”

"Liu Bei went to Yecheng? How can it be? Not to mention the grudge between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the past, it is no secret that Liu Bei intended to use the hands of the Black Mountain thieves to raid and seize Yecheng last time. The people of Yecheng are afraid that they hate Liu Bei, who originally came to the banner of aid, but Liu Bei has such dirty thoughts, and even more of a black mountain thief, he Liu Da'er will not know! How dare you go to Yecheng with only such a few people? Is there a mistake in the information? "Lu Bu has woken up a lot this time. He glanced at Zhang Miao, who was also puzzled, and asked with squinted eyes.

"There will be no mistake, the source of this information is...... Zhen family! Looking at the small characters on the bamboo slips. Qin Xu immediately guessed who this word came from, so although the bamboo slip was not named, Qin Xu still said the source correctly, and said: "The lord also knows that the Zhen family's influence in Hebei is all over the three religions and nine streams, and there are also many 'friends' among the major forces, so they can often find out some secrets that are not commonly known. Therefore, the credibility rate of this information is not low. ”

"Liu Xuande really dares to fight Jizhou's idea? Could it be Gongsun Zhan's life? Deliberately paralyzing the Yuan clan to prevent the Yuan clan from taking advantage of something in Liaodong and attacking him in the back? After listening to Qin Xu's words, Lu Bu's eyes first focused on the layout of military gains and losses. Asked.

"I'm afraid not!" Qin Xu calmed down, and said in an affirmative tone: "If it was the original party and government of Yuan in the past, if this situation occurred, maybe eighty percent of the certainty would be as expected by the lord." After all, Yuan Shao at that time controlled the land of the two states. With 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass, Gongsun Zhan used this method to appease the heart of the Yuan family, which is reasonable. Although Jizhou still belongs to the Yuan family, it has experienced Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi, and finally Yuan Shang's gains, and Yuan Shao's violent death and Yuan Xi's whereabouts are unknown, so that although the people in Yecheng recognize Yuan Shang's identity as the lord of Jizhou, they are united in their hearts. But it's more than a notch worse. Moreover, the eldest son of Yuan Shao in the past. Yuan Tan, who was ordered by Yuan Shao to take charge of the army, took away at least sixty percent of Yuan's elite soldiers and went to Bingzhou, leaving less than 20,000 elites who originally belonged to Yuan Shao's headquarters in Jizhou. This point of strength, but also to defend Huguan to prevent the annexation of the state, and to defend the white horse in the south to choke the throat of the Yellow River, but also to defend the north against the raid of the Gongsun clan, in addition to the security in Jizhou also needs a large number of soldiers, so it seems that even if Yuan Shang has the ambition of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, Tian Feng Xin Yan and others have the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, and Zhang Jaw Wenchou and others have the courage of Han Xin Yingbu, but no matter how you look at it, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she does not have the ability to sneak attack Youzhou in the north. Gongsun Zhan has been at war with the Yuan clan for a long time, how can he not know this? And what kind of person is Liu Bei? This must also be a clear door, how can you waste your energy on Jizhou, which is afraid that there will be no expansion in a few years? Therefore, Liu Bei's intention to go to Jizhou this time is definitely not that simple, and the biggest possibility is probably ......"

"What is it? Could it be that Liu Bei and the Yuan family met with a smile and enmity? But he wants to secretly unite the power of Jizhou, but he can't do anything else? Lu Bu originally smiled and said this as if it was a joke, but seeing Qin Xu's expression, the smile on Lu Bu's face faded, and he gradually became serious, pondered for a moment, and said: "Then according to your opinion, if Liu Bei and the Yuan clan forces really have the intention of forming an alliance, then who will be their main target?" Is it Gongsun Chan? The doubts are...... Shall I wait? ”

"It's not easy to say!" Qin Xu casually glanced at Zhang Miao, who seemed to be also contemplative, and said to Lu Bu: "Lord Mingjian." Originally, this time Gongsun Chan suddenly withdrew his troops, Xu Tongwen and even Feng Xiao passed the book, because this matter involved Liu Bei, and the three of us were all suspicious of it, I am afraid that it is not as simple as forcing Gongsun Chan to withdraw because of Gongsun Kang's invasion of Youzhou's abdomen and back, from the analysis of the intelligence sent by the shadow, there are many traces of Liu Bei here, so it is difficult to say that Liu Bei has the intention of alliance with the Yuan clan this time, whether it is to use the power of the Yuan clan to gather Jizhou, merge the state and add the troops of the headquarters, and start the idea of Youzhou. After all, although there are deep contradictions between Jizhou and Bingzhou, there is one thing in common, that is, the grudge with Gongsun Zhan. Therefore, Liu Bei is taking advantage of Gongsun Zhan's sudden fall into the rear war to make a move, and this idea is not small. But then again, the area of Nanpi and Bohai where Liu Bei is based borders Pingyuan County, and Jizhou is also average, and whether it is Liu Bei or Yuan Shang, in fact, they all have deep prejudices with our army. That is, one is exposed in the light, and the other is hidden in the heart. If the two sides really ally and work together, to be honest, just relying on the 10,000 flying cavalry battalion of General Cheng Lian in the small city on the plain, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend the gateway from Qingzhou to Hebei. If the city of the plains is broken and the sea route with Beihai is cut off, if we want to do something to Hebei, but we don't know how much work it will take! ”
